Best Thai food that I've had in Phoenix and I've been to my fair share of spots and this takes the cake. Love their pad Thai

Cozy ambience with comfy chairs and warm lighting. The food was delish; we got the tom yum and pork skewers for our dinner and sticky rice for dessert. They are a bit understaffed, but overall I would definitely recommend it, especially for a date night. read more

Hands down the best thai food in the valley! Service good, the restaurant is small but that made the experience intimate! I think we go here almost every week! read more

Oh my gosh, this place was so so so good! You can tell they put a lot of care in their food preparation and the staff was super friendly. I really liked the place even though it's small it's super cozy and comfortable. I ordered the red curry and coconut soup and it was so perfect, but it was so good that I want to get more food! I highly recommend this place! They even have BYOB! read more

Wonderful experience from the start! The service was great, and he gave great recommendations. We started with Thai tea, crab wontons, chicken satay, and coconut shrimp. All were absolutely fantastic! The restaurant is cute and quaint, and in a super cute strip mall with other shops to check out. I had the Pad See Ew, and it was absolutely fantastic! I'd definitely suggest you stop by if you're in Phoenix and want some food Thai food! read more

If you are looking for traditional Thai food, this is not the place. Some of the names are the same as in Thailand or other restaurants but the food is totally different. We drove for an hour to try this place. WE ordered four separate dishes to get a taste of a few things. One was Yum Nua, a traditional common Thai beef salad dish. When the waitress brought it to us I had to ask what is was. It was like a Ceaser salad, with some sort of salad dressing on is and some shredded been mixed in. Not a Thai dish at all. Ordered Sum Dum (Papaya Salad) again a common traditional Thai salad the taster was like something I had never eaten before and definitely not Thai Sun Tum. I tried to eat it but had two bites and passed on it, I asked it to be sliced, the was no spice at all. We wanted to try this place give them a chance and it was a $100 mistake. read more

Very busy, but the wait wasn't that long to be seated. The wait for the food was a little long. The restaurant was clean and smelled great. Our server was nice. I got green curry with tofu. It looked and smelled great. I would've preferred fried tofu for the texture, but it wasn't bad. read more

Sala Thai Tempe - Green curry with tofu - Thai Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This place is phenomenal! We absolutely love everything on this menu and have been quite a few times. You really can not go wrong and the ambiance is cute and quaint! As a couple that loves Thai and has lived in NY, San Diego, and visited Thailand a few times, this is our FAVORITE place we have been in the US. read more

This has been our go to thai spot, but Ive noticed inconsistencies. The food portion changes or quality of food can vary on the visit. Last night we had a big sized take out order, 2 pad thai's, 1 drunken noodle, chicken satay, papaya salad, wings and mango sticky rice. The food was good but I noticed the papaya salad portion was a bit smaller than the past few times Ive ordered. The most disappointing part of the meal was the mango sticky rice. They served us a rotting mango. It was disappointing to have been a returning customer to be served that quality of food. It's not the biggest of deals, but having worked in multiple kitchens, I would have not served fruit in that state to a customer. read more

This is a small place in a strip mall. Stopped in for dinner. Friendly staff said I can sit anywhere and provided a menu. I order the chicken satay and the red curry with chicken. The chicken satay was excellent however, the peanut sauce is on the watery side and not really enough for all the satay. I'm sure they would have given me more had I asked. I asked for a level 2 spice for the red curry and it was not spicy at all. It did taste very good but several of the ingredients listed on the menu were not in the curry. Not string beans or bamboo shoots. I mentioned to the waiter and he offered to bring me out a side. He also took responsibility for the mistake but not sure it was his fault unless he told the kitchen to leave all that out or I was given someone else's order. Anyway, the food was excellent, glitches aside, I'll be back soon to try some other dishes! read more

I was surprised to find a place who has the second best drunken noodles, spicy noodles in town. Also the crab Rangoon's are delicious too! The chicken wings I hear are super yummy, but haven't tried. I will next time. The service has always been good and although it's small inside it has good vibes. The website doesn't show if you can order from a delivery service.. read more

Food was amazing, best Thai food I've ever had! Beautiful, clean, and comfortable, fantastic vibes! Staff was so kind and fun (especially the waitress with the tattoos!) read more

Sala Thai Tempe - Thai Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sala Thai Tempe is easily the trendiest Thai place in the city -- and the delicious food, excellent service, and great atmosphere make it a well-rounded place to eat. I usually start by describing the food, but I was SO impressed by their staff. Sala Thai isn't a large restaurant by any means, and yet they allowed us to reserve a table for 11. A wait was to be expected, but our orders came out in a good cadence -- all correct, beautifully presented, and in order. The staff was gracious and efficient, quickly bringing extra utensils, waters, and boxes as needed. The food was wonderful, too. The Thai chicken and rice was moist despite the pretty dark and crispy exterior, and the sauce complimented it well. The khao soi was very flavorful -- though I will warn that Sala Thai is spicier than most local Thai restaurants. A 3/5 is probably what you'd expect to be hot, rather than medium, at other spots. The restaurant has the cutest designs and an adorable Polaroid camera for you to add to the photo wall, too. All the nice little touches were so lovely! read more

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS Sala Thai Street Eatery 1740 E Broadway Tempe, 85282 Companion and I were in the mood to have Thai food and this being relatively close we decided to give it a try. We arrived before the usual dinner hour and were the only ones in the restaurant. We were seated immediately with cushions for the person who sat on the bench side and comfortable chairs on the other side of the table. Our dinner began with an order of Crispy Garlic Chicken wings which were not only crispy but also delicious. They came with a dipping sauce that truly was mouth watering. We were off to a good start! I ordered Thai Tea to drink and my companion ordered Thai Coffee. The Thai Tea was perfection, but companion did not realize how strong the coffee would be and wasn't extremely happy about it, For my companion's main dish Phad Thai was ordered. It came at just the right heat level (#2) and was pronounced delicious. The portion size was considerable and could not be finished. I ordered Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles) at a #5 spice level and was not disappointed in the least. Again, a rather substantial portion with excellent flavor. Dessert was Mango Sticky Rice, and like all the other dishes of the night, was delicious. The restaurant, while small, was tastefully appointed and clean. Service was good and reasonably fast. For those who have never had Thai Food, it can be ordered at various heat levels. If it gets too hot for you, the antidote is the Thai Tea which gets rid of the heat quite quickly! 4 stars for an excellent meal, and cleanliness. Highly recommended for a good meal at a very fair price. read more

Pretty solid Thai food with vegetarian and vegan options, and legit Thai spicy options. I stopped in for dinner with a friend on a Thursday around 7pm. We got the only available table in this small, intimate place. We ordered: -Salad Rolls ($6) -- simple, fresh, driven by the fresh mint, and served with a nice peanut sauce. Simple, tasty. -Pad See Ew with tofu (made vegan by omitting the egg and fish sauce) ($15) -- extremely well-made, with the authentic wide rice noodles, broccoli, bok choy, carrot, and fried tofu, with a garlicky, spicy, soy sauce. At 3/5 spiciness, this packed a kick. -Yellow curry with soft tofu ($16) -- pretty solid, a bit watery but packs some good flavour, with a variety of veggies and soft tofu. I've certainly had better Thai curries, but this was respectable. Friendly service, the food came quickly, and the portions were solid. Solid spot. read more

If you know me, then you know how much I love my Thai food. I can eat Thai food every day and this Sala Thai location has me wishing I can have their food everyday. The restaurant is small and cozy with about five tables and there is only about 3 people working at a time. They make every dish to order so it is piping hot fresh every time. Service is standard and I think they purposely leave you alone so that you can enjoy your company and your meal. They are attentive when you need their service though. Prices are fair and they have some unique dishes that some other restaurants don't have. I love eating every Thai dish but I have to try the pad thai at every Thai restaurant I go to. If they can make a good pad Thai then they can be trusted to make other dishes too. The pad Thai here was insane. Bright flavors, hefty portion, and perfectly spiced. No dish has disappointed me and I'm a fan. I will be back 100 times more. read more

Talk about a super cute, cozy Thai restaurant that we picked for our first day visiting family in Phoenix. The decor is very colorful and calming and the booths by the wall give a super cozy feel to the whole place. We ordered a papaya salad, pad thai and green curry for 4 of us to share and I can definitely say I enjoyed the beautiful plating, garnishes, and dynamic flavor of all of the dishes. Everything was incredibly flavorful - umami and sweet where it needed to be, a perfect level of spice to what was offered. The service was quick and helpful. I unfortunately had to take a meeting while we were at lunch, but I hope to come back the next time we visit for a round 2 and to really spend my time enjoying the food again! read more

I rarely write reviews.. this place is Special though. One of the best Thai restaurants I've eaten at in many decades. Discovered it today while visiting Tempe. It's a sweet little spot with a beautiful, warm, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing environment. The food is outstanding. Everything is cooked to perfection. The sauces are ridiculous. You will leave feeling that you cannot live without Them. Ingredients are fresh. They went out of their way to accommodate my extremely low tolerance for spice, lol, made suggestions of what to order, I wish I live next-door. The servers were gracious and helpful. Such a treat. read more

We found this place since it was near us and tried it for dinner on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It wasn't busy but also made sense because of Thanksgiving the next day. The decor looked fine and clean to me. The menu had a lot of food that sounded good and we ordered a lot. We ordered the Spicy Basil Leaves with Fried Eggs and chicken at a spice level of 2 ($14), the Larb Salad ($14), the Yumm Mama ($12), the Spicy Ladyboy Wings ($10), and a large white rice ($5). The food took a while to come out but I thought it was worth the wait. The Spicy Basil Leaves with Fried Eggs and chicken was delicious! Spice level 2 was spicy but didn't make me grab water. The Larb Salad was good, the Yumm Mama was tasty, and the Spicy Ladyboy Wings were okay. I would recommend the Spicy Basil Leaves with Fried Eggs as that was flavourful to me. All four of us were full and we finished everything. We definitely will come back to try other things on the menu! read more

For the last year I have eaten here 1-2 times a month....me and my family think it is the best thai in the valley (or at least amongst the best). I got take out tonight and it was like it was from a different restaurant ....complete garbage. From the fresh rolls to the papaya salad to the spicy green bean and pad thai...everything was terrible...the recipes/ingredients seemed off and of low quality with little or no care put into the dishes. I can only surmise that: 1. It is new ownership and they don't know what they're doing; or 2. The real cooks were out sick or off tonight and the one(s) there tonight were clueless on what to do; or 3. Same ownership...now they are just mailing it in. Regardless, I feel like my money was stolen for this quality of food and I will never return. End of story. read more

Cute decor and quiet ambiance. After you enter you must order at the counter, so check the menu before heading out there. We ordered the Coconut milk soup that was extremely sour but had good flavor overall ( Also came with big pieces of ginger that were impossible to chew), the yellow curry was very spicy even when we order q level 3 ( a little smokier that other Thai places but good overall), and our favorite dish was the red bbq pork. Portions are smaller than other places. The attendant was courteous and friendly. read more

Not sure how I never heard of this restaurant but best decision having dinner here because I found my new favorite Thai place! How it works is you'll order and pay at the counter and they'll bring the food out to you. Our food came out at a decent wait time. The restaurant is small and intimate. I normally get pad thai or curry, but they have Thai street food here! I had to try the Gai Tod Na Khao (Thai fried chicken and rice). This meal reminds me of Vietnamese com ga. Full of flavor with the ginger chili fish sauce and it was definitely spicy. The chicken is breaded so lightly and it was very tender. The rice was disappointing and dry, but we also got another dish where the rice was not dry. Because the main dish was so good, I wasn't phased by the rice. The Chicken Satay appetizer was okay, needs to be more seasoned but the peanut sauce was great! Thai tea was normal, but pretty pricey for the size. Will definitely return to try out other meals! read more

Let me tell you that you NEED to come into the brand new Sala Thai Tempe and order food. The presentation of their dishes is just immaculate! I've been to the Sala Thai out in Phoenix, but it's really far from me. I'm so glad they opened up a Tempe spot! For people who have been to their other locations, the new Tempe location added a Street Food menu filled with unique items you'll see in on the streets of Thailand. This is the menu I ordered from and DANG, it did not disappoint! I ordered: - Yum MaMa (ramen salad): A mildly spicy, citrusy ramen salad (yes, ramen noodles!) topped with chicken, shrimp, shallots, and other goodies. This was my second favorite dish!! So refreshing and a brand new dish I've never tried anywhere else. - Khao Soi (curry noodles): Piping hot curry egg noodles with chicken, carrots, and served with a super aesthetic fried(?) egg noodle bundle. If you're into photographing your food, get this haha! - Kho Moo Dang (bbq red pork): A ruby-red bbq pork served with rice, a fried egg, and a spicy sauce on the side. I brought all my leftovers home and this was my husband's favorite! - Gai Tod (fried chicken): Saving this one for last because it's currently off-menu, but also because this was my favorite!! This was fried chicken that has a blended sauce packedddd with spicy, salty, and tangy flavors. I don't know what's in the sauce, but my mouth is watering still lol. I can't handle spicy food, and this definitely has a kick, but I couldn't stop eating this! When this hits the menu, run and get this! -Mango Sticky Rice: always a classic, always my favorite -Thai Iced Coffee: if you like Vietnamese iced coffee (I do!), this is a less intense version. Sweet and delicious! And as I said, the presentation of every single dish was insane. I'll definitely be back! Can't say enough great things about this place! read more

So many amazing things to say about this restaurant, where do I even start? We were a larger group of 7 and was treated with a welcoming smile and great service. We all ordered at the counter and sat at the table they put together for us. Food came out pretty quickly, despite there being only 1 cook in the kitchen. We ordered a little of everything from the menu and nothing disappointed us!! I've had a fair share of Thai good and this would be in my top 5 places! The dishes were flavorful and meat was not over cooked/dry. Mango sticky rice was really good and not overly sweet, just perfect! The presentation was beautiful as well and made the meal much more appetizing. The restaurant was clean and cozy. There's a Polaroid wall too for you to get your photo up on there. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family who are in the area and will be back when I'm visiting the Phoenix area! read more

My wife were looking for a place to eat after 11pm in Phoenix and I noticed Sala Thai Tempe was open until 1AM! The owners and employees are the friendliest people you'd ever meet!! My wife got the Spicy Basil Chicken and I got the BBQ Pork and we ended up switching because her food was a 2/5 spice level and it was too hot for her and I love spicy food! Both of our meals were absolutely fantastic 5/5 for flavor, spices, temperature, and everything in between! This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and cozy on the inside as well and a nice place for a date night that is elegant but not too fancy! Oh and it doesn't break the bank either!! This is the closest taste to food from Thailand that my wife and I have experience in the entire valley!! I highly recommend Sala Thai Tempe, you won't be disappointed!! read more

YOU HAVE TO COME HERE. This is the best thai food I've had in a LONG time. The vibe was lowkey, probably because it was a random weeknight but the server was so attentive.

This place was recommended to me. It took me a while to get here. Just be forewarned there are only like seats for 25. By far the best Thai restaurant I have been to in AZ. Not only was the service impeccable with sinks being kept full. But a place that when you order Thai hot knows how to do it. We had the crab wontons, which were generously filled and hot out of the fryer. The pad Thai and the drunken noodles were so flavorful. We ended with the fried bananas with the coconut ice cream and the Mango sticky rice which just solidified the meal. Highly recommend and I will be back. read more
